What must be provided along with the required renewal fee for an expired license?

To renew an expired license, the requirement is to submit a fee equal to the initial fee for that license. This consistency in the fee ensures that the cost of maintaining licensing remains standardized, regardless of how long the license has been expired. By requiring this fee, the statute emphasizes the importance of maintaining an active status and financial commitment to licensure, which helps regulate and uphold standards within the profession.

The other options do not align with the common renewal process for licenses. For example, while proof of examination completion might be required in some contexts for initial licensing, licenses typically do not require retesting solely for renewal. An updated insurance policy could be pertinent for active license holders, but it is generally not a specific requirement for renewal unless stated explicitly in certain professions. Similarly, a character reference is not a standard requirement in the renewal process, focusing instead on administrative and fee-related considerations.
